Rush Of Fijians To Enrol

As Territorials

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, March 16.

THE Fiji Military Forces announced on March 12, that two Territorial units would be established. Volunteers were called for.

On the first day of application for en rolment at the Colonial Barracks, near Suva, no fewer than 149 Fijians presented themselves.

The military authorities were not sur prised by this enthusiasm. They say, that Europeans and part-Europeans, however, will talk things over until some of them make a move, but there is little doubt that the enrolments will be ade quate.

The Indians, as before and during the war, have so far shown a complete de tachment in the defence of the Colony.
